“Hint about what?” Mia who had already gathered her consciousness, immediately sat down. He got out of bed and stood facing Adriano.
“Listen, Mia. Did Matteo ever tell you about where he was trading his guns? Who are the people he trusts to distribute those weapons?” ask Adriano. Serious question, but he said it in a soft-sounding tone.
Mia thought for a moment. He shook his head slowly. “Together, Theo doesn't have many friends. Not everyone can get close to him. For the arms trade, Theo only entrusted it to his men who were people from within the Clan de Luca,” he replied.
“Then, how about those outside the clan?” ask Adriano again.
“It looks like nothing,” replied Mia sure. “Theo has never trusted people outside of his circle. Matteo's character is very similar to Miabella's. Not everyone can easily get along with them. Only people who are trusted and he wills, who can get close to him,” Mia explained as she bent over and stroked Miabella's hair who was still asleep.
“Does that mean Miabella trusts and loves me?” Haru's taste appeared in the corner of Adriano's heart. The blue-eyed man smiled wryly.
“It seems, it is,” said Mia smiled sweetly at him. Making Adriano misbehave, and choosing to turn his attention to Miabella.
“Alright then. I'll take care of the files we need for all of us, before we leave for America. You still don't have an American visa, do you?” Adriano chose to switch the conversation.
Mia shook her head, “I just went to Greece. Besides, never going anywhere again. In the past, Theo had promised to take me around the world. However, it has not been done that desire, he has been first ...” Mia did not continue her words.
“You want to travel around the world?” adriano asked, not responding to Mia's last words.
“Entah.” Mia looked down deeply. “I have absolutely no idea what I want for now, other than finding my daughter's father's killer" he replied slowly.
“I'll take you around the world. Someday. If Matteo's death case has been fully solved, then I will take you and Miabella wherever you want,” Adriano said confidently.
Mia raised her face. He looked at Adriano meaningfully. “Thank you, Adriano. I hope it can be something that can treat all my sadness. I want to distract myself from everything that has happened. Know it? The first time I felt loss, when I was a toddler. I can't remember my real mother. Dad said she was a native Italian woman. Beautiful as an angel. My father said that my mother was the most perfect woman in her life. However, that happiness did not last long, because my biological mother died.”
Adriano seemed very interested in listening to Mia's story. “Then?” tanyanya while supporting the chin. It was a wonderful thing for the beautiful man, to know so much more, everything about the woman of his heart.
“It took several years for father, to let go of my mother's shadow before deciding to step forward. When I was ten years old, my father asked me to move from Milan to Venice. There, the father builds a new life and meets again with a new love. My father married for the second time and lived happily for many years, until ...” Mia hung up her sentence and looked at Adriano softly.
“What?” ask Adriano.
“Until my stepmother dies. After that, my father seemed to have no spirit of life. That's my second loss, Adriano. There's still loss-loss next.” Mia smiled bitterly.
"Before marrying Matteo, I decided to marry a kind-hearted young man named Valentino. However, at our wedding reception, there was a tragedy that I will never forget in my lifetime. My husband and father were shot dead by an unknown person. In the end, it is revealed that the men are the men of Antonio, Matteo's uncle. That's where my anxiety disorder started." A tear fell on the corner of Mia's lips.
“After that, I married Matteo and ...” Mia took a deep breath, then fell silent for a moment. “I feel the loss again,” he said later. “Adriano, I feel like everyone near me is leaving. Sometimes, I think it's better to live alone. Stay away from everyone. That way, I don't need to feel the pain of being left behind.”
“However, you will feel lonely. Sometimes, we are hit with grief and loss, to make us more grateful and to keep our whole heart on what we have right now. Believe, Mia. Nothing is eternal in this world, not even sadness. It will all pass. You'll get your happiness.” Adriano's back stroked Mia's cheek gently. Feel the smooth skin that always adorns the man's dream every night.
Adriano braved to bring her face closer to Mia. A little more, their lips will touch. However, the sound of Miabella's room door opening suddenly, made Mia immediately rewind.
Valerie poked her head from behind the door while grimacing. “Hei! The bodyguard said you were here,”.
Adriano snorted in annoyance, staring intently at the adopted sister. "What's wrong?” ask the guy.
“I want to give this bracelet to the little boy.” Valerie showed the rainbow-colored paracord bracelet, while shaking it.
“The little boy has a name. Miabella,” Adriano said in a softly-restrained voice.
“Ah, yes. Miabellan. Funny and adorable name. His eyes are very similar to those of Matteo de Luca. Alright. It.” Valerie took a few steps forward, then thrust the bracelet onto Mia.
“As my apology, for yesterday having been rude to her,” Valerie explained.
“Thank you very much, Val.” Mia received the bracelet full day. He never thought before that Miabella would get so much love from the people there.
“Of course.” Mia smiled knot.
Adriano was astonished.
“What agreement? What are you keeping from me?” search Adriano.
“Ask your wife later,” Valerie replied as she passed from Miabella's room.
Not getting an answer from Valerie, Adriano turned to Mia again. “Can you explain it to me?” pinya the handsome guy put on a funny face. Makes Mia laugh at him. He was about to answer when Adriano's phone rang.
Immediately, the man checked to prevent Miabella from being bothered by the sound of the phone. Sergei's name is on the screen. “What else is it?” ask Adriano without further ado.
“You said earlier that you wouldn't come if you weren't invited in person. Now, I'll give you what you asked for. The day after tomorrow, Don Vargas invited you in person. I'll send you the invitation card in the afternoon. I hope you don't return my man with no life like the other day. Remember, you must come . Bring your new wife too!” said Sergei from across the street, then just turned off the phone.
“Bigger! No manners!” adriano sighed softly. Just as he ended the conversation with Sergei, a phone call came back in. The name Arsen Moras appears as a caller. Since his return from Greece, they have not had time to exchange news. “Parakalo,” greet Adriano while rubbing her hair back.
“Adrianos. I'm on my way to your mansion. In about ten minutes, I'll be there. Tell the gatekeeper to let me in without having to undergo much inspection. Oh, I'm really tired,” said the handsome man without pause. Makes Adriano instantly link his eyebrows.
“What did you come to Monaco for?” ask Adriano wonder.
“Redomir sent me an invitation. He told me to attend a banquet hosted by Don Vargas. I have to cancel my date this time. Shitty!” terang Arsen accompanied by complaints. “Ah, I've been in front of your mansion,” he continued.
“Good. I will order the guard to open the gate immediately,” reply Adriano while hanging up the phone. The man's attention now returned to Mia who was still standing looking at him. “I have to go ahead first. My friend from Greece just got here." After saying so, Adriano moved out of Miabella's room. He rushed towards the front of the mansion.
Sure enough, Arsen just got out of the car. Either the car belongs to whom, because not long ago the black sedan again drove away from the courtyard of Adriano's mansion.
A warm handshake and hug, opening their meeting. Adriano immediately invited his best friend to come in. “Why didn't tell me earlier?” The blue-eyed man invited Arsen to sit down together.
“You know what Redomir isn't? He's so annoying!” sahut Arsen with a small grin on his handsome face.
“So, you also got an invitation from Don Vargas?” ask Adriano. He pressed a button next to the chair he was sitting on.
“Yes. Did you get it too?” Arsen asked back.
“To be honest, I don't know the guy at all. However, Redomir insisted that I attend the banquet he held. I also don't understand why he was so eager to introduce me to Don Vargas,” Adriano explained. At first glance, he turned to someone who had just appeared there.
Olivia stood up while looking at the two handsome men in turn. “There can I help you with?” tanyakanya.
“Tell the butler to immediately prepare a room for Mr. Moras. He'll stay here for a few days. So, choose a nice guest room for him,” Adriano said.
“Good. Is that all, Mister?” ask Olivia again innocently.
“What's your name, Miss?” asked Arsen with a teasing smile. Makes Adriano can only scratch his forehead. Arsen could not help himself every time he saw a beautiful girl.
“Olivia, Sir,” replied the black haired girl was ordinary.
“Ow, Olivia. My name is Arsen,” he said teasingly.
Olivia stared at the man for a moment. “Then?” tanyakanya. After that, he immediately said goodbye and passed from there. Left the two men.
Arsen was flabbergasted at Olivia's attitude towards him. Meanwhile, Adriano just mumbled a smile, watching the ridiculous scene.
